This step-by-step article describes how to install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard SP3 database and the most common SQL Server components between computers that are running SQL Server. You can follow this post to move database from SQL Express to SQL Standard too. The steps that are described in this article assume that you will not move the master, model, tempdb or msdb system databases. The steps provide different options for you to transfer logins and the most common components contained in the master and msdb databases. I like to use C: partition for SQL engine and D: partition to host database, temp files, log files and backup files (MDF and LDF). Here I need to deploy a SQL database for Veeam B&R 9 but it can be used for other applications.

In Veeam Backup & Replication v8 and v9 and higher the DBConfig Utility can be used to change the DB that Veeam is attempting to connect to, rather than editing the registr: Veeam Help Center.

For information about system requirements for Microsoft SQL with Veeam B&R , see the “Veeam User Guide” .

Here my article wrote in french for “IT Pro Magazine”, this is a french IT magazine intended for IT and Business Manager. The topic is “Backup and archive management with Veeam B&R: What’s the difference?”. Enjoy it! 🙂

In a few days, Veeam should release Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager version 9. Final version should be available by mid-January 2016. If your server contains both Veeam B&R and Veeam Enterprise Manager, it is required that you install Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager first.

This article provides a step by step guide for an upgrade from Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager 8 to Veeam Enterprise Manager 9 (version 8.0.0.807, 8.0.0.817, 8.0.0.831, 8.0.0.917, 8.0.0.2018, 8.0.0.2021, 8.0.0.2029, 8.0.0.2030 and 8.0.0.2084). You can follow the article for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager 7 but verify that you are running at least v7 patch 4 (7.0.0.871).
